Fluttershy shakily opened the door to her cottage, letting Chrysalis inside. She closed the door behind her, watching as the Queen claimed her place on Fluttershy's couch. That's the same place Discord sat when he frist came here... But that doesn't mean Chrysalis will turn good the same way he did, though..., Fluttershy thought. Thankfully, she can't use any of her magic to try and trick me, or anything like that...

Chrysalis had a strange silver ring around the base of her jagged horn. After a long explanation from Twilight, Fluttershy learned it nullified magic, making sure Chrysalis couldn't use any. For now, anyway. Sighing, Fluttershy walked a little closer to the changeling, still a bit wary of her.

"Ch-Chrysalis?", she spoke, getting the Queen's attention.

Chrysalis looked over at Fluttershy. "What is it?", she asked.

Fluttershy let out a small whimper as her gaze locked with Chrysalis'. "I-Is there anything you need? To make you more comfortable, anyway?"

The changeling put a holed hoof to her chin, 'thinking' for a moment. "Well, this ring on my horn is really bugging me.. Maybe you could take it off..?", she asked, looking at Fluttershy with puppy-dog eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that, Chrysalis. M-Maybe sometime later, when I know I can trust you.", Fluttershy replied, trying to sound firm.

"And why can't you trust me now?", Chrysalis asked, making herself look hurt.

"Because. You've done a lot of bad things, and you just got here. I'm not too sure I can trust you just yet."

Chrysalis heaved a sigh, muttering under her breath. "Well, then, I'm fine. That was a long flight here, I might as well sleep now."

Without another word, Chrysalis curled up onto the couch, making herself more comfortable. Watching the Queen in fear for a few minutes, Fluttershy hesitantly stepped closer to her, making sure the Queen was really asleep. After lightly tapping her back and not getting a response, Fluttershy pulled the blanket she kept over the top of the couch, covering Chrysalis up in it.

With Chrysalis out of the way for now, Fluttershy decided to tend to her animal friends. She had a tough time with her bunny Angel, who gave her an irritated look when he saw Chrysalis in his favorite spot on the couch refusing to eat. After about fifteen minutes or so of trying to get him to eat his food, specially made for him, and with a grim Stare, Angel found himself munching reluctantly on his special salad.

Finally finished feeding all her pets, Fluttershy sat down on her chair, next to the couch. She almost fell asleep when a flash of bright light startled her. Discord had appeared, and was looking angrily at the changeling Queen who was sleeping on the couch. His couch. The draconequus turned to look to Fluttershy.

"Dear Fluttershy, do you care to explain why Queen Cheeselegs is sleeping on my couch?", he asked, stomping his cloven hoof impatiently.

"First of all, Discord, the couch isn't yours, it's mine. Second, Princess Celestia asked me to try and reform her.", Fluttershy replied angrily.

Discord rolled his eyes. "Reform her? Fluttershy, you're my friend, right?", he stopped, and when Fluttershy nodded, he continued. "As your friend, I'm telling you, you're not going to reform her. You may have reformed me, but that was only because you showed me true friendship. But Chrysalis... she's heartless. Quite literally, actually. She doesn't need friends, and she really doesn't want them, either. She might seem like she'll reform, or she might act like she is reforming, but I can guarantee, it'll all be a trick. In fact, she's probably plotting some way to trick you into thinking she's going to reform right now."

Fluttershy listened to Discord intently, taking in the chaos spirit's words. "Wha... How would you know? I-In fact, how do you even know Chrysalis?", she asked.

Discord sighed. "It's a long story.", he replied, his eyes taking a far away kind of look. Shaking his head from old memories, he snapped his claw, making a large tray of cheese appear. Placing it on the table Discord turned back to Fluttershy.

"That's for Chryssie when she wakes up. Tell her where it came from."

With a snap of his tail, Discord was gone. Fluttershy looked at the tray of cheese, utterly confused.

What kind of crazy past has he had with Chrysalis?, she thought. He obviously knows a lot about her... Fluttershy heaved a sigh. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought. Doubts filled her mind as she noticed the Queen yawn, her long fangs glinting in the sunlight. She slowly blinked open her eyes, her nose twitching when she smelled the platter of cheese on the table in front of her.

"I'm guessing Discord was here?", she asked, looking at the tray of cheese.

"How did you know?"

"Well, he left a note. That, and this cheese is shaped exactly like him."

Fluttershy couldn't help but laugh when she got a good look at the cheese platter. She turned her head when she saw Angel bunny hop towards the couch, glaring at Chrysalis. The Queen returned Angel's glare, letting out a menacing hiss and snapping her jaws at the small bunny. Angel hopped away, ears flat in fear, taking a place behind Fluttershy. Fluttershy, on the other hoof, narrowed her eyes at Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis!"

The Queen looked confused. "What?"

"This is Angel's home just as much as it is yours! You shouldn't snap at him like that!"

"Would you rather I ate him?", Chrysalis asked, menace in her voice. Her forked tongue slid out and she licked her lips. "Because changelings can eat meat as well as plants."

Fluttershy took a step back in fear, letting out a soft squeak. Chrysalis really was going to be hard to reform.
